We did put it in one time, but so many people said they didn't want it that it created problems. You can always add or substitute - we make it easy for our customers to be pains in the , er, neck for Toby.

The problem is he's always so nice and accommodating that you feel bad bothering him all the time with swaps and whatnot. Sadly, I'm cash strapped and the cellar is bursting at the seams with vino. Next time.

Yep, I thought I was going to make it through unscathed too, but then I saw Wellington, and then Port, and then they just had to throw in that comment about Stilton and my cheese monger keeps stocking that killer Neal's Yard Dairy Stilton.... Oh well, maybe I'll use some of it for Christmas gifts. Yeah, right, it'll still be around at Christmas, hahahaha.

Everyone mentions the Duke and the Duchess. I mentioned it and was told that they have never made a Duchess. But we were there during wine pick up time and people were coming in talking about picking their Duchess up.

I understand if they don't have a tasting or bottle open, but don't tell me it doesn't exist!

I have both and have tried the pedroncelli, haven't had a chance to try this, but if you really liked the pedroncelli, you will probably love this. I really love port, and while the pedroncilli is still good, it was one of my least favorites so far. Knowing what I know of Peter, this port will be leaps and bounds above the Pedroncelli. If I had the money and space, I would have been in for three here without question. I don't so am only in for one, but now I can at least try the 03 and 06 I have been hoarding.

Are you sure you weren't at our doppelganger winery? I can't imagine Toby, Jon, Jannis or Rob possibly saying we never made a Duchess.

I was very disappointed. I put it on my "MUST VISIT" list based on Woot reviews and comments and the recommendation of a co-worker than has not led us astray before. I felt really bad for dragging my friends there. My husband walked out.

Maybe you misinterpretted and they were just telling you that they sold out? I believe that sold out pretty quickly.

I believe so, if it does not work just change your address by one character and you should be fine (change street to St. or something like that). I've never had the need, but I knows lots around here have more than one account.

That's exactly what I was thinking, but was wondering if anyone could offer notes on them. So far the only juice I've had from P.W. was the Woot Cellars Vinito del Finito and that was obviously some amazing wine. I'm looking forward to trying more of what P.W. has to offer.

Don't have argon

I don't care for Port after it's been open a couple of weeks. Alternatives to argon are displacing the wine with glass marbles (put them in until there's a small gap between wine & cork) or carefully decanting into a smaller bottle.

Did it, thanks! Missed out on the port but I'm ready for next time. ; )
